In my mind, I would wonder, why don't they want me taking pictures?
They must be doing something wrong..
:tt2:
Where I live, our local TV stations encourage people to share video and still..
They call it :You News TV"
I can see not allowing photo's of military bases..
Then again..I can go on Google earth and count the number of jets on the ground at the base near my home in Virginia
they seem to be much more paranoid on your side of the pond..
I do remember a member posting a while back about being questioned for taking photo's with a tripod in Washington DC.
I do know for a fact..that because of an e-mail I had sent a specific location near me was blurred out on Google earth..
Seriously..
I asked a person I know, (who works for a very large Military contractor) about a
Air force site on a hill near me..
There seemed to be a lot of activity at a site that is "not in use"
Then right after that a series of stories appeared in the paper about how the site was abandoned and the some of the gear was being sold as scrap.
